“There was a novel I read a couple of years ago that featured a brindled horse which was the first time I had ever heard of it. Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen.”

Same here! I just read that a couple weeks ago. It first said a “striped horse” and I was like “What the heck is that?” That brindle SB filly looks like she could turn out really nice though – and she only has a $500 adoption fee. Oh were I in the position to buy another horse…

Same, a while back I read that book and thought wow wouldn’t it be nice to have a horse that unique… well… I found one!
She is a registered CTA, ATA brindle Trakehner x TB mare out of Prince of Prussia, I am leasing her but wow! How stunning, I tried to do a little research but there isn’t much out there. Her brindling isn’t as prominant, she’s dark bay w/ black striping but you can see it on her summer coat.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the American Brindle Equine Association, a registry that has been formed to document, record, preserve, and promote the brindle characteristic in horses, donkeys, and mules. Horses, donkeys, and mules of all sizes are accepted by this registry including ponies and miniatures. No equine exhibiting zebra breeding will be registered with the ABEA, however chimeric and mosaic horses shall be accepted so long as they possess a brindle pattern.
